I'm a developer and consultant at Softera Baltic, where I build and maintain a Business Central-based factoring solution for clients across Europe. I hold the MB-820 certification, and over the past year I've been using AI tools to speed up diagnosis across multi-layered AL code, spanning the product, client custom code, and BC standard.

I never expected factoring to be a domain that would grab me, but at Softera I found something unexpected - the people around me make it easy to care, whether you're building web pages or untangling complex business processes.

Teaching AI a Vertical It Doesn't Know

Factoring — financing unpaid invoices — is one of the largest trade finance instruments globally yet almost unknown outside finance circles, including most BC developers who build vertical add-ons in domains they don't personally understand. This session spends 10 minutes making factoring concrete (what it actually is, why it isn't just "invoice lending"), then uses it as a case study for a broader question: how do you evaluate AI vendor claims for a domain you're not an expert in? Drawing from hands-on testing of AI document-processing vendors against real invoice data, and a live regulatory deadline (Poland's KSeF e-invoicing mandate) that is forcing AI adoption industry-wide right now, the talk gives developers a concrete framework: what to test, what AI reliably gets right in structured document extraction, and where it still needs a human who understands the domain's edge cases.

Debugging Across Three Layers: Using AI Coding Assistants to Triage Multi-Layered AL Extensions

Every BC ISV partner faces the same architecture problem: a bug report could originate in the core add-on, in a client's custom extension override, or in standard BC behavior the client misunderstood. Locating which layer actually owns the bug is the real bottleneck, not writing the fix. This session walks through a concrete triage method using AI coding assistants (Claude Code) to search and cross-reference product code, client custom code, and BC standard behavior before touching a single line, including a real case where this cut a feature investigation from an estimated multi-day effort to under a day. The talk covers what worked, what the AI got wrong, and where human judgment still has to override the tool.
